Elderberry Wine lyrics

Elderberry Wine lyrics

Music by elton johnLyrics by bernie taupinAvailable on the album don't shoot me I'm only the piano player

There's a fly in the windowA dog in the yardAnd a year since I saw youThere's a trunk in the cornerI keep all my lettersMy bills and demands I keep too

Well I can't help thinkingAbout the timesYou were a wife of mineYou aimed to please meCooked black-eyed peas-meMade elderberry wine

Drunk all the timeFeeling fine on elderberry wineThose were the daysWe'd lay in the hazeForget depressive timesHow can I ever get it togetherWithout a wife in lineTo pick the crop and get me hotOn elderberry wine

Round a tree in the summerA fire in the fallFlat out when they couldn't standThe bottle went roundLike a woman down southPassed on from hand to hand
